why i believe

I covet this man's opportunity to serve in such a monumental way among his people, his culture, his homeland. That he was blessed to get an awesome education at the Church's University, BYU through great sacrifice of his father and family, even by hunger to save $$ for education, and then apply this education achievement to the world in the most effective way, is what this video is about. I feel the Spirit of God in what he has done, in how he was obedient to the Spirit of God to go and do those things, help the local government to improve and make improvements to society there to help so many people and generations yet to come. Its an awesome story and I wish there were so many many more stories like this. The world is growing smaller and we can reach out.

Many members of the Church celebrated Pioneer Day this weekend. We're reminded of many BYU students and grads who are pioneers in their own right, such as Yeah Samake, a modern-day pioneer in his homeland of Mali. Watch his story about making a difference though education. #IAmAPioneer

AN ancient KING, King Benjamin taught this true principle when he said:

Mosiah 2:17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.
.............and it feels GREAT when you are!!Mosiah 2:24 And secondly, he doth require that ye should do as he hath commanded you; for which if ye do, he doth immediatelybless you;and therefore he hath paid you. And ye are still indebted unto him, and are, and will be, forever and ever; therefore, of what have ye to boast?
